About J. Hoard
NYC based artist, J. Hoard, is a new stitch to the essential fabric of the city’s music scene. In one performance you are given the core of the Black church and allure of “The Great White Way” (Broadway). His original compositions and arrangements easily shift in genre to communicate his unlimited imagination in songwriting. His credits include Chance the Rapper, Brasstracks, and hiphop royalty Jean Grae & Quelle Chris. Additionally, he has worked closely with a host of jazz/experimental artists such as Sonnymoon, Javier Santiago, and Meshell Ndegeocello.
“J. Hoard’s vocals serenaded the Imagination Stage through his “intimate set.” His range is nearly unbelievable, his voice so affecting the crowd mourned when he walked away from the mic, aching for more. It didn’t matter what was said, he would be heard as he danced barefoot across the stage. A true spectacle, his love of music was unpretentious — pure without stopping him from having a good time. The venue seeped with love, some lust and a lot of booty shaking.” – Alex Kramer 303 Magazine THE 30+ BEST SHOWS WE SAW AT THE 2018 UNDERGROUND MUSIC SHOWCASE (UMS) - Denver
